Ridley Scott criticizes modern cinema, describes it as a ‘average status’ and highly depends on visual effects.
When it comes to his views in the film industry today, legendary director Ridley Scott is not coming back. In a clear conversation at the British Film Institute on Sunday, the 87 -year -old filmmaker criticized the status of modern cinema, in which most Hollywood films were called “average status”, so much that he resumed his own classics.
Ridley Scott talks about the standards of modern cinema low
As reported MetroGladiator and Alien Autorur were talking to their son, director Luke Scott and did not copy the words. Scott aimed at excess of visual effects in contemporary filmmaking, suggesting that the emphasis on the spectacle often compensates for weak storytelling.
“The quantity of films that have been made today today, literally globally, millions, thousands, not millions, and most of them are nonsense. I think a lot of films have been saved today and are more expensive than digital effects, because what they have not got is a big thing on paper first. Get it on paper.”
Although he admitted that “sometimes a good one would be one,” Scott said that the overall quality of modern films feels like a creative recession, “We are drowning in average.”
When asked about his comfort film, Scott admitted that he was recently turning to his work, not out of ego, but with frustration.
He said, “This is a terrible thing, but I have started watching my own films, and in reality they are very good! And at the same time, they don’t age,” he said, he said, Black Hawk recently stopped doing miracles, looking at a reigeen, “How did I manage to do so?”
